UFC 94 gets even better! great fight!


Report: Nate Diaz vs. Clay Guida added to UFC 94

A lightweight showdown between "The Ultimate Fighter 5" winner Nate Diaz (10-2 MMA, 5-0 UFC) and Clay Guida (24-9 MMA, 4-3 UFC) has been booked for "UFC 94: St. Pierre vs. Penn II" according to GracieFighter.com, the official web site for Cesar Gracie's training camp.

An official announcement of the bout has yet to come from the organization.

Guida was unwilling to confirm the matchup when contacted by MMAjunkie.com. "I haven't signed any contracts yet," Guida said. "But I am looking forward to fighting."

The bout was originally rumored for the Dec. 13 "The Ultimate Fighter 8" finale. A foot injury -- which "The Carpenter" refuses to acknowledge -- suffered by Guida put the matchup on hold until January.

"I don't really know anything about an injury," Guida said. "I've been training for quite some time now. Just getting ready for a fight."

When asked about a possible date for his return to the octagon, Guida was equally coy -- but noted a date that would seem consistent with the report from GracieFighter.com.

"We're shooting for some time in January," Guida said.

Diaz, still undefeated in the UFC, will be in action for the first time since a split-decision win over Josh Neer at September's UFC Fight Night 15. The 23-year-old also hold submission wins in the organization over Kurt Pellegrino, Alvin Robinson, Junior Assuncao and Manny Gamburyan.

Guida will be in search of his third win in a row after defeating Mac Danzig and Samy Schaivo in his only two bouts in 2008. The scrappy Guida had been been just 1-3 in his previous four bouts, including losses to Roger Huerta, Tyson Griffin and Din Thomas.

strange, isn't it? i'd prefer to see diaz vs. guida over bonnar vs, jones. maybe the line-up will change before the card is finalized. it would be rare to have a tuf winner, especially one like diaz who has a few wins under his belt, not on the main card. also, he's fighting guida, so it's sure to be a good fight! keep our fingers crossed, i guess.

that's awesome news, thanks mookie. I can't believe that fight isn't going to be on the main card but i can almost bet that they will show both that fight and the Gamburyan/Tavares fights aswell. In fact i'd take either of those fights over the Bonner fight... That card is looking pretty damn sweet, can't wait for it.
GO GSP!!!!!!!

thiago and manny will be good too! damn, this is one that it would be nice to see live. there's going to be tons of energy in there, not only in anticipation of the main event but with all the excellent matches taking place as well.

(...and i almost won a lil' bit o' cash on pro-line yesterday too, would have been enough to pay off debts and for a few of us to have a good time in vegas at the end of january...damn broncos had to score a TD with 4 mins left to ruin it for me, why not a FG?!?!...argh...mfmfmf...:D)

p.s. GSP!
